[Brazelton] Twitter

the US has about 80 million active Twitter accounts.
Threads has only been rolled out in the US and has surpassed the 100 million active users threshold already.
Of course a lot of those won't actually be *active* users in the same sense, many of them are no doubt just Instagram users who are curious and all that, but still.
 
It’s literally a cap of $5 million to spread across Twitter users. It’s a blatant “plz sign up for twitter blue” ploy and I doubt it will work.

This is the bash on Muskie thread, right?



In case anyone can't see this, it's a Tweet about how horrible the production quality is for Tesla Cybertruck. Parts don't line up, chipped paint, edges that look like they were made with a Harbor Freight angle grinder, etc.
 
Did we know that Musk is suing the lawyers that represented the old Twitter board in their court case to force Musk to buy Twitter? Because he's totally doing that.

Apparently he doesn't think it's fair that the old board paid the lawyers bill something like 10 minutes before he took over, because he totally would have stopped Twitter from paying that bill. Which, true, but I'm not sure "It's not fair that people I don't like got paid, because I'm a massive manbaby throwing a temper tantrum" has quite the legal weight Elon thinks it does.

Also because he thinks that the fees the lawyers charged are way too high for what was such an obviously easy, any idiot can win this court case. Against him!

Anyway, here's Legal Eagle's take on it.

Hasn't there been an on-going problem for all of the Tesla vehicles having parts that do not line up?

What's funnier is that his argument is basically that the firm doesn't deserve a payment that big because any idiot should have been able to defeat him because his case was doomed.
 
Doesn't his kids have some random X's in their names? I feel like he's just trying to make "x" his version of Apple's "i".

I feel like he’s secretly announcing to the world that he wishes he’d been born a woman.

In the meanwhile I’ll be over here bracing for all the DMX memes that are sure to drop tomorrow.

I tried to find out more about this by googling xvideos, and um... Musk seems to be making some significant changes to Twitter's business model.
 
Nothing says freedom of speech absolutist like banning the Twitter account of a porn site preemptively because it might clash with your own rebranding push.
 
Apparently Meta owns the trademark on X as it pertains to social media and entertainment.
And Microsoft for financial services.

I have no interest in threads, but if zuckerberg now changed the name of it to X I think I would use it out of principle.

The fact that the antagonist is Elon Musk makes this movie funnier and funnier every time I watch it.

The absolutely funniest thing is that Elon was apparently stealing money from his own companies to finance a "giant glass structure" in the middle of the desert, but it wasn't found out until AFTER the movie came out.
